Do you think its kind of crazy for an overweight person to teach a nutrition class?

i am overweight so I am not talking about overweight ppl but 2day I had a class and the person was overweight and telling us about eating bad...

Well, an over-weight person is certainly well-nourished. :-) Or maybe that person could say do as I say, not as I do? Or maybe that person has already lost a ton of weight..... Just throwing some possibilities out there.

No. I don't think it's crazy for an overweight person to teach a nutrition class.

They probably have studied nutrition, and know which foods contain which vitamins, minerals. What foods contain the "good" fats that we need and what foods we should avoid eating, etc.

Just because they know how to eat healthfully doesn't always have to mean they bother to do so themselves. It could be case of "Do as I say, not as I do".

This person is simply passing along the knowledge to you- it does not reflect on whether or not he or she follows the rules they are teaching.

Unless you know this 'overweight' person, they may have gained knowledge and may be in the process of losing several pounds themselves.

I never trust a skinny chef....lol.

yes, it is like when I had a doctor when I was a little girl and really felt how can he help me when he is not healthy himself?

Yes, kind of crazy. If a person can't walk the talk, they are missing information, not just will power.

...or an overweight person teaching a P.E. class...

...or a dentist who always had bad breath....

Sounds like this crazy obese doctor telling me to lose weight cause I
am obese ,lol

Yes I do because they are not setting a good example for the class !


JMM

Yes, or dietitians in hospitals as well.
